This federal contract was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service to the non-profit organization Akademiya2063 (A2063). The contract, valued at $100,890.49, is a definitive, firm-fixed-price contract with a completion date of August 31, 2022.
The contract requires A2063 to work with the USDA, the African Union Commission's Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment (AUC-DARBE), and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat to provide data and analytical support, as well as outreach, in support of the African Union's sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) policy framework. The key objectives are to support the implementation of the AU SPS policy framework, provide data and analysis on investment options and policy issues related to food safety and SPS measures, and facilitate dialogue and cooperation among African countries for harmonized SPS policies and capacities.
This contract is not associated with a set-aside program. A2063 has previously supported USDA and other entities through prime federal contracts and subrecipient roles on grants, providing similar services related to strengthening food safety, plant health, and agricultural systems across Africa.
